You will be aware of the current difficulties all businesses are having in obtaining stock due to the impact of both Brexit and Covid 19. Many of our normal suppliers are either low on stock or completely out of items which are usually in high demand. We were delighted when we located a new supplier (Wilton Bradley) who not only had some great products in stock but were also able to supply them at a reasonable price. You can see some of the items listed below and the rest are on our website and displayed in the shop.

A pair of pop up goals which are very handy for the game of football in your back garden. Because they are pop up they are easy to store when not in use. Built for plenty of wear and tear. Priced at €26.99

Also other stock available. Call in to us or buy on line.

The post Announcement of New Supplier – New Stock Received appeared first on Bambi's Toy Shop.

Following 5 months of closure it’s really fantastic to be back open again and to see all of our customers calling to the shop. It was a long 5 months and we definitely wondered at times whether we would ever open again. Thankfully and hopefully we are now back to a semblance of normality and fingers crossed we will continue to regain all of the freedoms that we previously took for granted.

We are now open almost 2 weeks and it’s great to see that our customers have not forgotten us. While we now have an online presence (www.bambistoyshop.com) the true essence of Bambi’s and all of our local shops is the direct interaction with our customers. Thank you all so much for visiting our website during the lockdown period. It was heartening to see that you continued to support us during that tough time!

The Coffee is up and running again albeit that we had almost forgotten how to use the machine. Thankfully Bernard rose to the occasion and continued to meet the high standards that Bambi’s has set. I’m still getting there but hopefully my standards are high enough now (although Bernard has set a mighty target!!).

Thank you all once again for your custom and looking forward to seeing you during the long hot Summer (fingers crossed).

Bernard & Brendan – Thanks for your support!
